Treating Infected Hair Follicles (Folliculitis) - iVillage

2010-09-03T11:20:00.000-06:00

I recently developed an infected hair follicle in my armpit. Yea I know gross but with a compromised immune system shit happens and doesn't clear up correctly. I was scared it was a swollen lymph node or something worse. Turns out it wasn't that bad. Well the fact I let it get to about the size of a walnut or bigger....was bad. I'm not allowed to do that again. I wish I had read this before I started freaking out though.

Papaw, originally uploaded by Minda@Inkyworld.

Michael’s grandfather (Papaw) isn’t doing too well. We recently found out that he is diabetic. About a month ago he had to be admitted to the hospital in Cookeville because his sodium and potassium had dropped too low. He got out and we thought everything was back to normal. It’s not. A few days ago he had to be admitted into our local hospital because his sodium and potassium had dropped again. They let him out Thursday even though he wasn’t looking any better.

Well we know why his sodium and potassium keep dropping. He refuses to eat. He claims that he can’t taste it. I’m starting to get worried because if he doesn’t start eating, he’s going to die. I don’t know how Michael would handle that.

Biker Awareness

I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.
I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart.
I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.
I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you, race down the road in the rain .
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you, go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.

Bikers and Their Clubs

2007-05-29T22:01:00.000-06:00

You want to know what gets under my skin more than any thing in this world? It is these people that think, if you ride a motorcycle that you are nothing but a white trash outlaw biker. When in fact, they don't even have a clue what they are even talking about. So I will tell you what it means to be a biker and belong to a club in this modern age. A bike club consists of a group of people that share a common interest in motorcycles. They also get together to ride and do events for their local charities and their community. Now there are a bunch of right-wing lobbyists saying "If you ride a bike you are probably running drugs or envolved in some sort of illegal operation." In fact current motorcycle clubs, for the majority, are just hanging out with their family and friends and sharing their love for motorcycles. So I say to these ignorant right-wing politicians. You are wrong. You all can kiss my ever lovin biker ASS if you think my love or that of my friends has anything wrong or illegal involvement. So to all the bikers out there, do what you do and to hell with the rest of them. We know what we are like. And no one can tell us we are wrong.

My bike

2007-04-10T23:00:00.000-06:00

Well my bike is almost done and I can't wait. I have been trying to get this bike done for about six months now and I have ran into a few things with it like the cam shaft in the rear cylinder and the chain for the cam shaft. Well here is the break down on the cost for the parts. I only paid 50.00 for the bike in the local 127 Corridor Sale.

Cam Shaft 20.00
Cam Chain 80.00
Handle bars 40.00
Headlights 20.00
Hand Grips and Throttle Cable 27.00
New Key Switch 13.00
So you see I have only put about 250.00 into this 50.00 bike

Now if I could only find a set of hard bags to mount on my bike.

Minda's Inky World - Did He Tell the Truth?

Did He Tell the Truth?

mood: chipper

Ok here is some thinking for you. Read the story and answer the question. You have to really think about it and explain the answer in the best form you can. Give your reasons why you think that answer is correct. This island that I have used as a visual aid is from Google Maps. I am not completely sure which island it is, but it is in South America. I am just using it a visual aid. I am in no way implying that the people of that island lie or tell the truth. I am not implying that the people of that island are even tribal. It is just a visual aid. (Didn't wanna get in trouble)

Johnny Smith visited an island. There were 2 tribes living on this island. The east tribal people always tell a lie. The west tribal people always tell the truth.

Johnny saw a guy passing him. He asked the tour guide to ask the guy where he lives. The tour guide asked the guy and came back with the answer: he lives over west.

Did the tour guide tell the truth or tell a lie?

Got Chain

2007-04-05T14:54:00.000-06:00

Mike got the chain for his bike the other day. So now hopefully he can drop it off and then Gary can fix it. Hurray! Mike can ride his Motorcycle soon.

I am happy about this because it will cut down on some of our gas usage. Can you believe gas is so high? It makes me sad. Our small town doesn't have public transportation but maybe when gas prices get even HIGHER (thanks Bush) our county will see the need for public transportation.

How much can it cost to get a secondhand bus and provide public transportation for our citizens?

A little about me

2007-03-29T23:59:00.000-06:00

Hello Everyone and Anyone who reads this.

I will start off by saying a little about myself.

My name is Mike. I'm 30 years old. I love motorcycles and have been a motorcycle enthusiast since I was a teenager. I get my love for motorcycles from my Papaw, Bruce and my uncle, Bobby (RIP).

I am married to a wonderful young lady, Minda. She is my world.

I enjoy working on my truck, hanging out with my family, and spending time with my friends.

I really like Harley Davidson Motorcycles (I even have a couple of Harley Tats!) but I can't afford to buy one right now. Hopefully, after Minda gets finishes college, I will get a Harley. But until then, I am customizing my Virago.

I found my Virago in the 127 Sale in the summer of 2006. It was a bargain at $50. I have put a lot of time and a little money into it since then. It is almost road worthy and I can't wait to ride it.
